I like my trex. I bought it used and would rather spend the money I did on an older trex than the same money for a new walmart/big-box bike.
What I don't like is the attention it gets. Some people just see the name and assume it is an expensive bike and sometimes (rarely) it has to get parked and locked in some not so good parts of town. Even in my small town we have thieves looking to make a quick buck. If I lived in an area of even more theft, Id prob take off the trex names or rattle can it.
